msi nvidia 9500 gt issues

It playes movies, clips without any error on windows xp, or linux (linux mint 13). I can play and 2d games (on windows and linux). But whenever i play newer 3d games my window frozes and i have to restart my computer (i can only move my mouse on screen but nothing else). This hapedns on windows and linux (hon is not working ( linux /windows), counter strike (windows), cube (linux)... i reinstalled drivers (tryed older version drivers also) same error (egzact same issue on windows and linux). i reainstalled windows (wihout dual boot same error) . tryed dosens of linuxes (suse, bodhi, mint (again), (k)ubuntu...) same issue. some older games work without problems like nox (windows and linux) , red alert 2 (windows and linux). I also installed this card on better computer than mine same issue (stuck on newer 3d games). Also sometimes gpu stuck on glxgears in linux. So i am sure it is hardware issue. And expirienced members of this forum can give me solutions (if any) how to repair this?

That's probably an overheating problem (use GPU-Z to monitor the temps), so remove the cards cooler and replace the TIM with newer one, also clean all the dust on the fan and cooler fins before mounting the cooler again.

Hi. i havent changed TIM, bit i cleaned the dust and used industry lubricate (keep cpu fan, chasis fan, and gpu fan quiet) (still isues). I will change TIM and will report back.? in about a week. Thnx for helping me

Yes i have changed tim, i still have same issues i had before. I also monitored gpu temperature with gpuz. I tested in on game counter strike 1.6. After some time [5-10 minutes] game froze and gpuz showing temperature of 40 C. Whats my next step?
